Brave Men Run Podcast - Episode Fourteen Chapts. 50 - 53
It’s the penultimate episode of the Brave Men Run Podcast! After this — one more episode and the book is finished!
Let’s look at these chapters…
Chapter Fifty:
– “Post traumatic stress, or something like that.”
More information on this disorder is here.
– “Two Orange County sheriff’s deputies got behind him and held his arms.”
These fine officers provide law enforcement services for several unincorporated areas of Orange County, California.
Of course, I mostly recall them showing up in time to take our beer away from us at beach parties…
Chapter Fifty One:
– “I’ll buy you a MegaSip.”
Okay, so I made up the name to avoid infringing on any trademarks, but this is what I’m talking about, here. Essentially, it’s syrup, sugar water, and crushed ice. Oh, and food coloring.
– “I’m gonna give you, like, the Reader’s Digest version, all right?”
This is a reference to Reader’s Digest Magazine, which has been publishing condensed articles, features, and full-length books culled from numerous sources since the dawn of time. The “Reader’s Digest version” means without any fluff, with an emphasis on brevity.
Chapter Fifty Two:
– “…going to watch MTV…”
MTV, once known as Music Television, and even before that Sight on Sound, changed music forever, for better or worse. It launched in 1981, hit in a big way in 1985, and gave one of the creators of podcasting his first big break. So it all ties together, somehow…?
Chapter Fifty Three:
That Lina is wise beyond her years… a little island of common sense for when our hero gets too wiggy.
– “I kept chuckling, randomly, right up until we pulled up to my house. Right up until I saw my mother in the driveway talking to a man in a dark business suit.”
What, you thought I wasn’t going to slip another cliffhanger in before the end of the book? Stay tuned!
